I am not certain, but I think "modified food starch" is another name used
for monosodumglutimate.

No reference. It was some years ago when I was reseraching organic foods,
came across the info on why to use organic vs commercial molasses and maple
syrup.

The manufacturer certainly did not post it. 

Did you know that if an ingredient is part of another product that they use
none of the components of that product it has to be on the label? Just an
indicator that they added "xyz" product. Like "modified food starch", which
is often potatoe starch - my daughter is terribly allergic to potatoes. We
don't use anyting with modified food starch, even though it is often just
corn strach, no way to tell it is not potatoe starch or a mixture.
